yes, from looking at some of the previous posts i am beginning to conclude that the nine odd hours driving to the bridge would be more like work, time that could be better spent on other roads. I will be on my own. I have to be in malaga on tuesday afternoon and would like to follow an interesting road south because i do have some time. I have driven the run before but last time i kept to motor way until madrid then had a wonderful run cross county via toledo, cordoba to my destination. I am not on a GS this time. that will follow me home next week. I am on a 1994 K1100rs . fine road bike, likes good surface. slightly heavy and ponderous by modern standards. that in mind i am trying to plot a road route down, but i know nothing of the pyrennes etc.
